  • z28 from v6?

    how can you tell a debadged z28 from a v6? there's this really nice camaro at my school that i park next to sometimes and i really cant tell if its a 6 or not.

    It has 2 big duals under the car, so im guessing it has true duals. The interior is cloth/ Has halo headlights just like me. Looked around the car and i could tell if it was a 6 or a z28

    Check the vin.
    It's the 8th digit. I don't remember what LS1 is, but if it's a 6, the 8th digit will be K.

      check the body kit.. v8's.. at least on firebirds have different bumpers, fog lights etc...

      also, is it an automatic? if not.. check for a 6spd diagram on the shift knob?

                Speedo - if it is an older f body then look to see if it has drum brakes in rear.

                        do the z28's have any decals on the dash or steering wheel that say z28? I thought my buddies z had a decal above the radio that said z28

                            mine doesnt say z28 but mine is the first year they had the new interior....here are a few way, take a look under it and look for 2 cat converters if still on it, speedo, take a peek under and check out the exhaust manifold, sound of it, other than that ask him.....
